Hey phil I have been watching you for awhile an thanks you to the advice an your reviews of tanks an mods I have been cancer stick free for two months now so keep up the good work

Hi Phil,

I became a fan of your videos a little while ago. A friend from work (Sean) was
using a Nautilus when I was smoking. Let me tell you…it fascinated me. Due to
money issues, I bought a CE4, which broke two days later, I then took the plunge and bought a Kanger Aerotank V2, which was pretty decent. I always had issues with the stick batteries in my pocket, they kept snapping in my pocket. My partner bought me a Nautilus and a MVP mod for my birthday, and man…I’ve never looked back.

I’ve watched all of your reviews for the past few months, and I love them. I know
some people might think they are a bit long, but I like the detail, I love the
technology and I love the banter you have. I’m thinking of getting a Kanger Subtank on the back of your review, I’m wondering if I should get a Smoktech M80 plus to go with it. There’s a store in the UK called Vaporized (amazing liquids by the way, especially the USA range of Ice flavours) and they suggested the M80. If you already have, I’m asking a stupid question…but could you do a review of it please? Your word is the only one I trust when it comes to vaping. Lots of stores have an agenda and certain brands to upsell, and I love that you are impartial. I would also love to see a few liquid reviews if you have time.

I hope you enjoyed the Vape Jam event, I was working and unfortunately couldn’t
come. I just want to say, I read your story on the site, and a lot of it really hits home with me. You’re an awesome guy, and smokers and capers alike need your videos.

Keep doing what you’re doing.

All the best,

Andy

Comment: Hey Phil, just wanted to say I appreciate what you do. I too was a long
time smoker and used vaping to stop. I only recently started getting into what I
call “real vaping” and purchased a subtank mini and Aspire sub ohm battery. I
stumbled upon your videos and wanted to say thanks. You do a great job of explaining
the technical side of this in a way even a noob like me can understand, lol!

Anyway. Thanks again and I look forward to watching more of your videos.

Im a fan because you helped me to quit smoking regular cigarettes. 5 months ago I was looking youtube and came across one of your videos and because of that, I started to research on ecigs and quit smoking the nasty ones. It´s been 4 months (and counting) and I don´t feel the need of smoking cigarettes anymore, only feel like vaping and ive reduced my nicotine down to 6ml. So thank you Phil Busardo! Ohh, and just to let you know, I´ve already helped 6 friends(heavy smokers) to quit smoking and start vaping too.

Hey Phil, greetings from sunny San Diego! I just wanted to thank you again
for all you do keeping the masses informed and entertaining us all. Oh yeah, and to brag a little! Two years tobacco Free! as of today May 4th! the second year seemed to go by faster than the first. I love the fact that I can wake up every morning and take those deep breathes.Loving the fact I can go hiking again with out feeling like my chest was gonna pop, and actually know how it feels to run out of breath from activity not just sitting there sucking down death in stick form. Thanks again for taking the time to read this and inform the public. We need more phil in the cart!

7 hours from now will mark exactly one year since I had my last smoke and your videos have contributed greatly to that. Just wanted to say thank you. So, thank you.

Hey just want to say that i have read you bio and really love what you are
doing! I quit smoking cigarettes a 3 weeks ago and started vaping because my wife
got me an ego and didn’t really liked it so idid some research on internet and
youtube and found your channel. followed some of your advise and since then never
went back on cigarettes. keep up the good work! Louis

I have been Vaping since April of last year (2014). Unfortunately late last November
(2014) I relapsed on real cigarettes for about 3 weeks due to the stress of a
psychiatric problem. In December of 2014 I was hospitalized at Mount Sinai Hospital,
intubated in the ICU Unit for massive lung failure (ARDS-Acute Respiratory Distress
Syndrome) for 7 days, brought on by a community pneumonia infection (I think it was due to my
smoking at the time). I was released on December 25 2014 from the hospital. Needless
to say a number of follow up appointments were made in respirology at Mount Sinai
Hospital.

On April 28 2014 I got back from my appt. with Dr Balter, my respirologist at Mount
Sinai Hospital (in Toronto) and my recent chest CAT scan showed
exceptional improvement over the scan from Dec. when I was in the hospital
ICU for lung failure due to pneumonia. Also todays pulmonary tests were
perfect, so I got a clean bill of health from respirology! I don’t have to
go back!

I should clarify that after getting out of the hospital, I didn’t vape for
about a week to let my lungs heal, and came back to vaping slowly …
why.. because I like it … and I like the hobby aspect of it!

It was interesting thinking about giving up Vaping, I concluded I would
miss more than the actual act of vaping itself, but also the hobby –
social aspect as well.

Hi Phil, Just a quick message to say thanks for the great reviews you do. Thanks to you and your excellent advice I have quit smoking after 30 years and bought an MVP 3.0 and a Kanger subtank plus It’s performing better than I ever expected and I just made another milestone today. I built my first coil from scratch at 0.7 ohms and its also been 5 weeks today without a cigarette Thanks again for inspiring me to quit. I’m converting all my friends too now and also pointing them to your channel. P.S. Happy belated birthday from sunny England

Hi Phil-
I know you get thousands of emails coming at you and I don’t expect a reply. I just
hope you know how much of a difference you are making to people.

Here in Indianapolis, I started playing around with vaping about 3-4 years ago. I
started with Blu because – well – their marketing campaign. Cigalikes did nothing
for me so I was soon back to analogs. I tried an ego, but didn’t like the fuss with
their atomizers and not being able to dial in the right voltage threw me back to
analogs. Then, I tried my first box mod last year. The iStick 20W. Now THAT was the
winner. I moved from Boge cartos to the Aerotank mini to – now – an iStick 50W and
the Kanger Subtank Mini. Finding my way to a better vape world is all thanks to your
guidance on YouTube. I really hope that the future gets brighter for us vapers. It
will be an unfortunate day if the feds take vaping from us as we know it. I am
already struggling with the thought of an Indiana with warped vape laws – and that
may be coming all too soon.

Thank you for your dedication to getting vape information out to the masses! You ARE
helping people make a better decision with their lives.
